Custom setting menu, E1 - e8: bracketing/flash – Nikon D200 User Manual

Page 38

If you leave it at default you'll start from DSC_0001 every time you reformat. Over time
you'll have hundreds of photos on your computer all called DSC_0001.

Set it to ON, which should be the default but isn't.

d7 Illumination

turns on the top LCD light anytime the meter is on. Default only turns

this on when you press the light button located with the

power switch

I leave this option off.

d8 MB-D200 Batteries

tells the D200 what sort of batteries are in this grip. You'll get

more accurate battery readings if you set this.

Leave this alone if you're using the usual EN-EL3e battery.
